THE PARENTING COORDINATION PROGRAMME “It has been such a privilege to be on this course with its amazing trainers and like minded fellow delegates. I’ve learnt so much and have already started to change my practice. I’d recommend it to anyone working in family law or dealing with challenging clients.”

PROGRAMME SUMMARY

Parenting coordination is a child-focused dispute resolution process designed to assist high conflict families in implementing parenting agreements and child arrangements. The training is split across 4 two day sessions, some or all of which may be interesting to others working in the family law sector.

Who is this training relevant for?

Delegates wanting to train to become Parenting Coordinators are welcome from:

Legal,

Mental Health, and

Social Work backgrounds.

It is also possible to attend the individual modules and these are suitable for all family dispute resolution professionals who wish to learn more about family dynamics in divorce or separation.

In order to become a FLiP Faculty Approved Parenting Coordinator:

We suggest that, as a minimum, practitioners should have three years post-qualification mediation experience and have completed FMC accreditation. However, at the discretion of the course directors, applications may be considered from delegates with other experience where supported by a CV and appropriate references.

Delegates intending to practice as a PC will require a reference from an accredited mediator or their PPC, and will need to be qualified and experienced mediators.

Please note, non-mediators are welcome to attend all or any of the course modules, but will not be entered on the register of FLiP Faculty Approved Parenting Coordinators.

COURSE MODULES

The programme consists of 7 modules normally run across 4 two day sessions:
